Romelu Lukaku | United confirm deal subject to medical and personal terms
- Thread starter FC Ronaldo
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

You think that's down to physical attritibutes of the players? There's plenty of legs in our teams, it's about strategy.
We also miss tons of chances, particularly last season - hence why someone who will punish the bottom 10 sides is always welcome.
Woody is a goddamn ninja
They are sure of what they are saying which is that a fee is agreed. Not that we're going to sign him.
Negativity.... on Red Cafe? Well there's a shock 
We're buying one of the Premier Leagues most proven out and out goalscorers who's homegrown and only 24!!!!
Fantastic news!

Can't rule out the tactic that we've leaked that we've agreed a fee with Everton just to scare Madrid and make them concede that they'll lower Morata's price.
It may not solve our prehistoric tactics but he should solve our problems against the lesser teams. Still, I'd have to agree that if he's the only attacker we bring in it'll disappointing. Especially as Zlatan's gone now.
That's not fair, he has the best chest in world football.
A bit like Lindelof
I knew Lukaku was going to become a United player the moment I saw him taking selfies and dancing with Agent Pogba.
Pogba... not really a "proper signing". Not a "fergie signing".
I'd put Pogba in the "we've got money to spend and don't know what to spend it on" category, similar to Di Maria. That's not to say I don't want Pogba, or that he's comparable in failure to DM, but it was part of our "floundering" phase.
The Romulan is "Prem Proven" (Berbatov, Tevez, Cole, Sheringham, Shearer (not that we got him), etc). Strong, young and a proven goal scorer.
Think he is a classic fergie signing. We get Lukaku and it makes everyone else weaker.
I don't know why Sky and TalkSport are now relevant and ITK.
They've proven over and over, and fecking over again that both know absolutely nothing.

That's the point, the other journalists are the fees aren't even agreed, contradicting BBC report.
Probably just trying to feel relevant as he did not break the news
Probably. Bit different when Chelsea are also in for the same player though.
I hope they don't ruin a journalist's credibility by doing that. That would set them up for a lot of negative press.
True but even BBC broke the news earlier.
And he called Rooney to Everton.
Oh, are they? Yes, I'd ignore those.
I'm referring to Sky/TalkShite claiming there's no deal.
Apparantly knows the new owner of everton very well.
I really really really hope this is not true.
But then again, it feels like when Moyes was appointed, so it probably is.

You'll be bloody dangerous on set pieces. Now you just need a Rory Delap long throw specialistSome guys asking what's the difference between Fellaini and Lukaku? Bloody hell
Whys he saying that and Sky are reporting it as done?
26 & 25 goals for Everton in the past two season. He won't even have to move house either as he is already settled in the area.Negativity.... on Red Cafe? Well there's a shock

I'm a bit concerned with his first touch and occasionally static demeanour at the front.
What makes Lukaku more clinical? I think Morata is the more efficient scorer tbh, the only questions for me over him would have been adjusting to the PL and playing a lot more minutes.
What is Madrids interest in this transfer then? Assumed they wanted us to Buy Morata so they could finance a Mbappe deal
no deal?
This hasn't actually happened yet though so not sure how it can be confirmation of good sources.
I absolutely LOVE the idea of telling Madrid to buzz off!
Morata is NOT better than Lukaku. There is little proof to argue otherwise. Both have their strengths and weaknesses and they are the same age. Time will tell who is better but one thing is sure in football, Jose Mourinho knows how to pick or manage a good striker.
I can't believe we are actually going to sign this donkey. Feck my life. 
If Lukaku still ends up at Chelsea or staying at Everton after BBC reported the deal as agreed, I really won't know what to believe anymore.
Unfortunately in the social media age, I'm no longer able to just check manutd.com to see when United announce something.

Can anyone give a proper feedback on his first touch? Some say it's horrible, some say it's good, some say it's mixed.... On the videos I watched, his first touch seemed fine but of course you never see the bad moments
We need a new striker and Lukaku would be as guaranteed a source of goals as we could get. Plus Madrid seemingly are being very difficult over Morata (which is their right) so this makes sense. The fee even seems reasonable given figures being thrown about these days.

The state of this place when Lukaku, Perisic and Fellaini are in the same line-up.
Good signing, he has his limitations but at the same time is a very good young striker who is a proven PL goal scorer.
Hopefully he relishes the challenge of playing for a top club and keeps on improving.

They keep morata on the bench.
This forum is depressing at times. I can understand preferring one over the other but Lukaku is literally one of 2-3 top strikers in the PL (therefore proven).
When are people going to realise massive fees are needed when you are in our situation? We are paying United tax every time.
Doesn't help we boast how rich we are every other week.
